CAMBRIDGE, Mass. – The Harvard women's soccer team
is in its second week of preseason practice, as the Crimson
prepares for its season opener against Long Island Sept. 3.

Harvard will open the 2010 campaign by hosting LIU at the new
Soldiers Field Soccer Stadium Friday, Sept. 3 at 7 p.m. The
Crimson will then visit New Hampshire Sept. 5, before traveling to
Florida for games at Central Florida and South Florida Sept. 10-12,
respectively.

Under the tutelage of Ray Leone, who is entering his fourth season
as the head coach for Harvard women's soccer, the Crimson returns
20 players from last year's squad, which won its second straight
Ivy League title.

Harvard has reached the NCAA tournament in each of the last two
seasons and will open the Ancient Eight portion of its 2010
schedule on the road at Penn Sept. 24.
